Blocking Access To Gas Stations

We had a class A in front of us at the only pump for RV's. We waited and waited, finally I went to see what was going on and saw through the window. They were at their table eating, at the pump. Damn Class A drivers.

why did some not just shoot him,,, it would have been self defense for sure, after all the ups driver was attacking someones sense of urgency

and

he was interfering with that person's god given constitutional right to buy fuel

You could have taken a picture, got the equipment number and reported it to UPS. Maybe the company can prevent it from happening again.

If they still have the corporate structure now, they used to have, a picture of him, his parking etiquette and his truck number would have him on the street looking for another job. UPS has a 800 number to call just for such actions.

But, but, but.......
it's so much easier (and a "no brainer") to start a rant on an internet forum..:S

Of course, maybe UPS management is on here just like Marcus!?..:W

UPS driver (deliver route driver not a semi) was delivering to an office building, instead of backing into the dock like a good little deliver driver he just pulls up in front of the buliding and runs inside.

Cop is writing him a ticket

I approach the officer and ask if he's writing the UPS driver a ticket, He is a bit hesitant but admits he is. I profess my pleasure at hearing that "GOOD, they need more of them" and he then gets much more chatty.. Seems he'd also written this same driver a speeding ticket about half a mile back.

UPS seems to think parking and traffic rules do not apply to them. It always makes me happy to see them reminded they do.

Now USPS. on the other hand.. Does enjoy some special rights road wise.

but... If you read the constitution, you will know why.

(The constitution gives the government the right to build POSTAL roads. thus all the roads are technically property of the post office)

Well said, except, I don't think the fuel stations, driveway, and parking lots at Loves or Flying J, or any fuel station for that matter, are property of the U.S. Gov't or even the State? Now granted, if they don't pay their taxes they'll loose their property, that we all agree, but in "name" these stores and their driveways, roads, and parking lots are private property, not federal or state owned. Thus, even the U.S. mail truck drivers need to be considerate of others.

There seems to be a standard in this country where we accept drivers who block, drive slow or under the limit by 10 mph or sit at lights longer then it turning green and of course that take off from the light real slow among other things. We usually get tickets when we go a few miles faster or try to make the yellow light because were being unsafe but what about the ding a lings who cause us to do that because they aren't going at least the limit? doesn't seem fair does it?

Everybody driving slower than me is a moron. Everybody driving faster than me is an idiot. :B

This is why I added an auxiliary tank to my truck. I rarely need to fill up while puling my rig. I can go at least 750 miles and up to 1000 miles while pulling my 5th wheel. I do not travel more then 500 miles in a day (more like 100-300). It is so much easier to pull in any station without the rig. An exception is if I see a ridiculously low price while I'm towing. I will fill up then.

Within the last week, A small car got to the pump ahead of me (only one I could access). Gas pumped in 3 minutes. Family went inside, he repacked the car, family came back, he went inside--15 minutes later they left. I needed gas so had to wait.

UPS doesn't care. They would RATHER a driver get a parking ticket than take the time to drive around back.
